The Compassion That Carried Me Through

“I want to thank Bahar Bybordi, MD, from the bottom of my heart. From our very first appointment, she made me feel seen, heard and completely at ease about my upcoming myomectomy. Her confidence, compassion and calm demeanor reassured me through every step of the process.

“Before my surgery, I was struggling with painful cramps, heavy bleeding, constant fatigue, urinary frequency, bloating and constipation. It felt like my body was working against me, and I was simply pushing through each day. It was exhausting — physically, mentally and emotionally. When I met Dr. Bybordi, everything began to shift. She listened to me, took my symptoms seriously and guided me through the entire process.

“From imaging to consultations to planning the surgery, every step was explained in a way that made me feel informed and empowered rather than overwhelmed. I never felt brushed aside or rushed, which was a relief after years of silently struggling.

“The weeks leading up to the procedure could have been filled with fear, but instead, they were surprisingly calm. Dr. Bybordi and her team answered every question, addressed every concern, and made sure I felt fully prepared. By the time my surgery date came, I felt safe, confident and ready — not just because of the medical expertise, but because of the compassion that carried me through.

“The day of the surgery went smoothly, and afterward, her team checked on me with a level of care and warmth that I will never forget. They didn’t just treat me like a patient — they treated me like a person. That type of kindness makes a world of difference when you’re healing.

“Now, just two months later, I feel lighter, refreshed, and hopeful. Life feels brighter because I’m no longer weighed down by symptoms I thought I’d just have to live with. What could have been a frightening experience turned into one filled with peace and healing — all because of Dr. Bybordi and her amazing team at The Brooklyn Hospital Center.”
